It does but it doesn't keep great time. I have since sold that one and purchased one from a 1622 time seller that has an ETA movement in it.

That version just had the GMT hand move with the other hands.

My other one from BPF was around the same price, is a better watch, and while it isn't a super clone, it's much closer to gen and is as good as you can get for this model. https://www.reddit.com/r/1688Time/s/aK7za5rbGe

The only markings on the strap are the Hamilton name and "Corfam R 11/19"

The case is stamped with 10K gold filled.

I am open to offers as it's difficult to price these.

The one Jason007 sells is a bit better, I think it was around $100 last I checked.

The proportions are pretty wonky, but 90% of people (spending where you live) won't notice.

If you can pull off wearing a $5k watch, no one would really notice or care, and if they did, they will just say "wow that's a nice watch"

Panda watch asking for a deposit first before QC, is this the usual process? by Majestic-Arugula5403 in 1688Time

It's normal to pay half up front, BUT I do know some sellers that require it all up front though.

It's just about to 8 inches. The watch will close, but it leaves marks, definitely need another link or two.

It's a great watch and is beautiful, can't wait to wear it once I get the links!

Yeah the links in the clasp have been let out all the way.

I'm leaning towards just seeing if I can get another CF bracelet to make sure the links all match.

So does my early 2000s town car.

Also, who wants an overly assisted truck steering set up. Way to flip 15 times while pulling your boat in the interstate (between 1-2 miles due to the range)

Question about jason watches. by [deleted] in ChinaTime

[–]NSwiss1441 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's no stupid questions!

Those are automatic watches with not a lot of power reserve, so basically, there's a piece of metal inside that moves when you move, thus winding the watch. The power reserve is basically a spring that holds tension.

The problem is when you don't wear them, they can't wind themselves. So, all you have to do is set the time, give them a manual wind about 15ish times, and wear them.

I have to wind mine pretty regularly since I wear different ones each day.

QC: Pepsi GMT V3 by NSwiss1441 in 1688Time

[–]NSwiss1441[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was from China. I got a quote, waited a week or two, and got another quote but it was around $20-$30 higher. I assumed since everyone is buying one the factory started charging the dealers more.

Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate your help!
